Located quite a distance from the 23rd parallel, my island is right there, through the living room, just beyond the French doors, and situated about two-thirds of the way from the wall in my humble kitchen.

This is the place where my fan club, my girls and the occasional guest, get to see the real me.

Sunday Pizza Party

Today was pizza day , big pizza party day. The fan club got company, a whole family Portuguese friends, five hungry mouths in all. So had my work cut for me.

The day went as follows:

Wake Up
Make Dough
Go to Church
Prepare Toppings
Make Pizza
Eat Pizza

Get the picture? Regimented to say the least.

We made about eight pizza pies. We experimented Differents shapes and a variety of freshly prepared toppings. Toppings at my house are usually cooked items, just as sauteed peppers or a fresh tomato salad.

Today I had helpers in both the eating and pizza tossing department. It made a big difference, and definitely added to the fun and emotional reward.

Here is a samplings of the day's work. Too bad we did not take pictures of the entire process.

Thank you helper Peter

All in all, it was a great Sunday. Wish I had a few more guests. Next time, I'll call in the reinforcements from the high-school.

I am a professional technologist, and aspiring food celebrity. I left my heart Italy where the imprint of past civilization still permeates all aspects of life and culture, and yes, a good does of Amore. Until then, my kitchen island is for you.
